This page is intended for Level 1 and Level 2 teachers with resources for teaching students how to function in a target language classroom. The tasks and topics are designed to help students use the target language for routine communication in class and to understand the teacher's instructions for classroom activities. The key here is to base instruction on what students will be asked to do on a regular basis, rather than traditional introductory material found in most textbooks such as colors, countries, days and months, and telling your age or where you are from .
